llamas

tonight we took a spin out to visit the llamas. naturally, if you are up on your camelids, you'll realize that the picture to the left is in fact an alpaca. they're similar and both very cool to check out.

as expected, jess, kicked my ass the entire way. in her big ring, she takes off and it takes everything i have to keep her in sight, let alone stay on her wheel. i can't figure out why i always struggle to keep up with people on long flat stretches.

my place seems to be on long climbs. riding with her will definitely improve my skills on the flats / rollers. this weekend will be devoted to riding and hanging out with chaya. a few nice long rides planned - should be fun.
